thank you for the information. i can understand why your organization(s) demand(s) restraint from your students when posting in this forum. people can get carried away…
as per your suggestion, i will check the schools within the vicinity in the next several months. again, thank you… =)
JON:
i don’t think you gave the impression of insulting Bo Law or Sifu Yee’s schools. you’re a first-rate guy! =)
i’ll also tell you about my observations with regards to the methods employed at bo law in an e-mail…
just to explain my position, i had misgivings from the beginning but thought that it is just because i am unfamiliar with the protocol in kung fu styles as i used to be a tae kwon do/grappling student. at this time, however, i have the opinion that it is just not the school for me as the perspective i’ve gained from my previous training is resistant to the protocol observed at this particular kwoon.
Sorry for throwing in a few Japanese terms there TenTigers. My sifu began studying Aikido before Hung Gar and so everyone at the kwoon (better?) tends to use some terms interchangabley. I’ll try to stick with the Cantonese from now on. lol
DF, thank you for understanding that my work schedule dictates much of what I can commit to with everything else. I would love to train at one of the Yee family schools if I had a real job. Maybe in a few years, if I stay in NY, I’ll have the time/flexibility. On a different note, one of my older Kung Fu brothers is moving out to NY, too. He’ll probably be aiming for either the Brooklyn or Chinatown schools. He’s pretty darn good under the lion, too. Oh well, if you hear of anyone teaching in the Bronx, I’d appreciate it. Thanks, in any case.
Chubby Tiger, thanx for understanding my humor, yeah, I know I get a bit carried away, and sometimes I get a nosebleed from climbing up on my soapbox-(gettin all high an mighty)
Thks for the kind words, all the sifus there gave a great performance. It was nice to see CLF in NYC, it has been a long time.
The pleasure is all mine getting to meet you. Your sifu is a good friend of mine. If it wasn’t for your sifu, I probably will not be there last night. I hate attending public functions, I am not a very socialable person, lol.
